I'll still run it with any class, but I generally would prefer to run it with what makes the fight easiest/shortest. I'm not afraid of "difficult content" either, I just don't care about making the fight more difficult every single time, when I get absolutely nothing to show for it at the end.
And you know, this is the thing: efficiency. The truth is that in the middle of the day when I have to make, say, a moogle group, I have to use /sh to find a couple of bodies. If I don't know who I'm playing with I am ALWAYS going to go with the setup that yields the highest probability for victory. This is just common sense.

Don't get me wrong - if other people want to do it with all classes, etc. then by all means do so. But me? I'm going to give myself and the people who are with me the best chance for success possible when I don't know who I'm dealing with. Now if the run is 100% or folks I know I really don't mind mixing it up to get other people involved who might be excluded due to stacking strategies.

I also think that the other problem with the class stacking debate is that people who frown on it don't understand that a good portion of the content still requires perfect play with stacking. In fact, some of the stack strategies require more ability and familiarity with one another than a traditional setup. While this isn't always true it certainly applies to some content.
